The coke strike at Pitsburg which ended
last week lasted eightyone days, and was
the most stubbornly contested strike ever
known. For the first six weeks II 900
men whose wages average $2.05 per day
were on strike, and losing five weeks lost
1858, 500 in wages. Then 5000 of Car
negie's men returned to work, and the
wages lost the past six weeks by those re-
naming on strike aggregate $442 800,
making a grand total of .$996,30 loss in
wages. 1t will take a year and nine
months at sliding scale of ~ per cent,
advance to make up the loss. 1t is esti-
mated that the actual expense to the
operators during the strike has been
$4,000 per day, making the total loss
something over million dollars.

A Horse that Carries Newpap ers

An indianapolis correspondent OF the
New Y ork Journal is responsible for tht
following picturesque yarn:
In this city, where as rule everything
that goes can be seen or had, there is one
novelty of which few other cities Car
boast. 1t is horse that delivers daily tl
regular subscribers the Cincinnati En-
quarer. This horse, the property of VIM
Angst, has been trained to do this work
by his owner, and SO thoroughly has he
learned his daily route that at no time in
the past six months has he forgotten one
subscriber or patron.
The owner himself has been the horse IS
instructor, and taught the sagaClous ami
NAL to know the streets, alleys and lanes
OF Indianapolis and the houses Of sub
scribers. The horse became famous for
MS fast trotting, stopping promptly and
IN good time at every place. He knows
his business SO we'll that when in the mid
die OF any block where there should be the
last subscriber, he will turn around, taking
through an alley for a short e~e to the next
patron. The novelty of this delivery of a
great newspaper has made subscribers for
it, by people who buy it because they like
to see the horse come once day regularly
and perform his remarkable feat Of leav-
ing his master off at the right house. In
dlanapolis, like other cities of any size,
has all competition that is wanted in the
newspaper business, but when the En-
quare1 adopted the new system of delivery
something of an original and different
idea altogether from what has ever been
in vogue before-it knocked out small
rivals, leaving an exclusive field for itself.
1t is common thing to see a dog come
to the front gate for his masters paper
but when horse comes along to give it
to the dog-that act supplies the missing
link in the circulation of metropolitan
dailies, and much doubt is expressed
whether or not some other and more
genial device will ever be heard of that in
all respects will supersede this mode of
delivery. The horses ability may be
readily estimated when | say that he de-
liyers to no less than APO subscribers,
scattered all over Indianapolis and the
suburbs, taking over five hours to COM
plete the task. The memory of this noble
animal is certainly wonderful. Gentle as
a lamb, he Urots in 2.55 when necessary to
have the first package at the prominent
newsstand of the Bates House ahead of
all other dailies. So accurate is this AMI
NAL in his daily course that the large sum
of $3.50 has been offered by an admirer,
but was refused, the horse costing three
years ago only $75.

Congressman Samuel j. Randall hits the
nail squarely on the head in this paragraph
of a recent letter:
ut is mere assumption that some men
act from what they call principle and
that others do not. The loudest shouters
for free trade have been found, when it
came to the consideration of the details of
a tariff bill. voting persistently for the
largest protective duties upon the most
ridiculously small productive interests of
their districts. The truth is, all men are
alike in these respects, and, home matters
being better understood, are less ignored,
and being better understood, the repre-
sentative yields prompt submission to
what he believes to be just and right to-
ward his constituents

Fighting Poultry Vermin in Summer

Fighting Poultry Vermin in Summer
Frequently the most difficult work Of
the poultryman is that of Kidding the
premises of vermin. Most persons do not
become aware of the presence OF vermin
until the little red mites are seen in
myriads These can easily be destroyed
by using proper methods. The great
scourge of poultry is not the mites, but
the large body-louse that hides at the base
of the feathers, on the head and neck. AS
they are only found there on the fowls, an
examination Of the quarters does not re-
veal them, when they may be busily at
work on the birds. When the hens seem
to droop without apparent cause, the
their heads and necks will reveal swarms
of these lice. Little chicks. especially
those that feather very rapidly, such as
Dorl1ings, Games, and Leghorns, will soon
succumb to large lice, and often the cause
will be ascribed to nothing else.
To prevent lice on fowls, the best thing
is the dust bath, which must consist of
fine dry clay OF coal ashes. If the quarters
are kept clean, the hens will prevent the
attacks of lice by busting, but when once
the lice put in an appearance, the poultry
man is compelled to take active measures,
as the lice must be fought until not a sin
gle one remains. Kerosene must not be
used on the bodies of the hens, as it will
sometimes kill them. For the large body
lice, first grease the heads, necks, and
vents with a mixture made by adding a
mixture made by adding teaspoonful of
crude petroleum of every gill Of lard. Use
it warm, so it spread well. Then dust the
hens well with Californian OF Persian In
sect powder. Repeat this every third day,
and dust every portion of the body, but do
not grease the pody-only the head, neck
and vent.-Anaerlcoa AgracugtaTalist.
